davidcyclebackTwo of my general rules are for sellers include: 1) He/she should say what it is for sale, and 2) He/she should guarantee that it is what he/she says it is.
A large percentage of fake cards on eBay fail #1. If you read the sales descriptions for most fake T206 Honus Wagners, there are a lot of words but the seller never actually says the card is original ... The words "This is an original 1909 T206 Ty Cobb" is saying what it is. The words "I'm no expert, but the card is worn," isn't saying what it is.
If the purchase is inexpensive, then there's nothing wrong with taking a chance every once in a while.
